On Infections from Contact Lens, Contact Lens Solution and Product Recall

Filed in archive Cases by Gloria Gamat on May 27, 2007

If you haven't yet read my post on Acuvue® Oasys™ contact lenses, please do and take note of the unanimous reader feedback of being allergic and getting infection from the new-generation silicone- hydrogel lenses (senofilcon-A) that Acuvue® Oasys™ is made of.

As much as I would like to help you guys, I can only keep on writing about your experiences on Acuvue® Oasys™. However, I strongly suggest that you report your horrible Acuvue® Oasys™ experiences to your ophthalmologists and urge them to report the cases to the makers of Acuvue Oasys, which is Johnson & Johnson Vision Care. Once J&J have enough complaints on the product, I really think they will be forced to review it and recall the product from the market if necessary.

[I am really hoping that this get picked up as I already made enough links to Acuvue® Oasys™ and J&J.]

Now...speaking of product recalls, Advanced Medical Optics (a California company) has voluntarily recalled all of its AMO Complete® Moisture Plus™ Multi-Purpose Solution products, in light of a federal investigation that tied its production to a potentially blinding infection - as reported by The New York Times.

If you have purchased one of these AMO contact lenses solutions, carefully check out the FDA listing of the lot numbers being recalled.

A dusty atmosphere and chemical fumes may damage your lenses, if they are left uncovered..For my contact lenses I have a good quality solution which I purchased from lens.com through couponAlbum......

I was using the AMO Solution and found out I had a big ulceration in my left eye..for awhile I had no vision in that eye. I went to a professional and saw him for several weeks and was prescribed a variety of eye drops. Could this be related to the AMO Recall issue?

Well that's one of the biggest problems with using contact lenses, you just have to be really careful when wearing them. Just handle them carefully.

I have also had NUMEROUS infections, swelling, itching, etc, since wearing the Acuvue® Oasys™ contacts. My Dr. has even put me on steroid eye drops for my problems...Now, I find out from this blog that it's the CONTACTS! Ugh... I am acutally seeing my Dr. today and was wondering what contacts other folks are now using? Please respond asap as I leave for the Dr. office in 2 hours. Thank you all for sharing your information.
